WM - Window Manager.

If you're using KDE with it's default window manager (which I assume is the default Mandrake config - I use SuSE myself) - then you can get the icons to show on the desktop when mounted (even when unmounted) by following this procedure. (I'm going on KDE 3.1 here....)

1. Right click a blank area of the desktop, select Configure Desktop.

2. The KDE Control Module will open, select "Behavior" from the left hand pane.

3. In the bottom of the right hand pane, ensure that "Display devices on desktop" is checked, and then check any required devices in the list below.

4. Apply the changes and you're done.

Peace
